Petros Markaris is a writer, dramatist, screenwriter, and translator best known for crime novels featuring Inspector Costas Haritos. Deadline in Athens An Inspector Costas Haritos Mystery is the most direct introduction to the detective, his investigative habits, and the urban pressures surrounding each case. Zone Defence continues that police-procedural route, while Basic Shareholder brings another institutional setting into Haritos's field of inquiry. The Late-night News connects crime with the public world of broadcasting and information. Che Committed Suicide provides a later point of entry for readers interested in the series' political and economic undercurrents. Taken together, Deadline in Athens An Inspector Costas Haritos Mystery, Zone Defence, and The Late-night News show how Markaris changes the social setting while retaining the detective form.
